Joel Youngblood

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Joel Randolph Youngblood III (born August 28, 1951 in Houston, Texas) was a Major League Baseball player for the Cincinnati Reds, St. Louis Cardinals, New York Mets, Montreal Expos, and San Francisco Giants from 1976 to 1989. Youngblood was a versatile player who could play many different positions as well as pinch hit. He was an All-Star in 1981 with the Mets, hitting .350 in 143 at-bats.

On August 4, 1982, he became the first player in history to get hits for two different teams in two different cities on the same day. Youngblood had driven in the winning run for the Mets in an afternoon game at Wrigley Field against the Chicago Cubs, and then singled in a night game for the Expos in Philadelphia after he had been traded. Interestingly, the two pitchers he hit safely against, Ferguson Jenkins of the Cubs and Steve Carlton of the Phillies, are both in the Baseball Hall of Fame.

For his career, Youngblood batted .265 with 80 home runs and 60 stolen bases.
